OAKLAND — A man and two women suspected in at least a dozen vehicle burglaries between Interstate 880 and Doolittle Drive over the past few weeks were arrested Wednesday morning.

Police say they recovered property from some of the break-ins following the arrest.

Most of the burglaries involved rental cars parked in restaurant parking lots, and the losses included computers, backpacks, wallets and purses, said officers Greg Bellusa and Bruce Worden, who made the arrests.

The names of the those arrested — a 24-year-old man, his girlfriend and sister — were not released because investigators were still interviewing them Thursday afternoon. The 6-year-old daughter of one of the women, who was with the trio when they were arrested, was in protective custody.

Bellusa and Worden said the suspects had been living at a Day’s Inn on Edes Avenue for a few weeks after they were evicted from a house. The burglaries usually occurred during the morning hours; on some days, four to five cars were broken into.

Targeted parking lots included those along Hegenberger Road, Edgewater Drive, 98th Avenue and Oakport Street, where a television news van was broken into.

Police had gotten a description of the suspects’ car a few days ago and Bellusa and Worden spotted it leaving the motel parking lot about 11 a.m. They followed the car to the 66th Avenue offramp off I-880, where it was stopped and the occupants detained. Property from burglaries was found in both the car and hotel room.

The three were expected to be booked on suspicion of burglary and possession of stolen property.
